The video is of a guy who prepares for a fly-fishing adventure.
its like a trailer for his travel dvd, the funny thing is the way they made it look like an action-adventure, whereas fishing is a relatively uneventful or slow-going activity
which showed locals just going about their business---chill'in
the kids were chilling, i'm pretty sure the local/native adults were on the other hand busy with their daily activities as their lifestyle is mostly traditional (hence hard manual work, ie. probably no fancy fishing gear for them)
there is a road sign indicator of kangaroos. I had no idea that there are kangaroos on Christmas Island should that be true.
its probably too small or unsuitable for such (large) animals, there might be imported ones though (wildlife sanctuary)
also, it seems there is little concern over the effects of multiple nuclear tests performed on/near the island in the late 50s/60s, compare that to the chernobyl paranoia - looks like the latter was and still is blown way out of proportion for political reasons, ones which weren't applicable regarding this island that certainly got 'hit' much worse by multiple nuclear-test effects on several occasions
